Prohibition of Agricultural Land for Foreign Adversaries Act

# Prohibition of Agricultural Land for Foreign Adversaries Act Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would prohibit citizens and entities from foreign adversary countries—specifically China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—from purchasing agricultural land in the United States. The legislation aims to protect American farmland from foreign ownership by these nations, which the sponsors view as potential national security concerns. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly restrict foreign nationals and companies from these adversary nations from buying U.S. agricultural property. It could also affect American companies with foreign ownership ties to these countries.

Indirectly, it touches on broader agricultural policy and foreign investment regulations. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (S 2574) remains in committee and has not advanced to a full Senate vote. This means it's still in the early stages of the legislative process and would need committee approval and broader congressional support to move forward. No companion bill in the House has been identified in the summary provided.
